A Smoking Cessation Program for Your Employee Benefits Package
Work with Smoke Quitters to create a smoke-free culture in your workplace, through subsidised support or custom on-site training
You can't stop your staff from smoking. But there's no escaping the truth: smoke breaks amount to one lost day of productivity - per smoker, per month.
If you run the numbers in our calculator, no doubt you’ll come to the same conclusion. If each smoker takes 2 x 10-minute smoke breaks every working day, you lose 7 hours per month - or one day of active work.
It's tantamount to gifting each smoker an extra 12 days annual leave!
Tot that up across your workforce, and the numbers are worrying. Especially if smokers are on shift work, where every lost minute risks your KPIs.
And productivity is only half the battle - smoking has a cultural impact too.
- It starts with resentment, where non smokers object to picking up the slack for their smoking colleagues.
- Then come the smoking cliques that can upset team dynamics.
- And when managers smoke, they’ll often bond in the smoke shelter with lower ranking staff - risking cries of favouritism when promotions or redundancies come around.
With so much at stake – plus all the upsides of a healthier workforce - it makes perfect sense to include a smoking cessation program in your employee benefits package. Not to cross the line and request that staff consider quitting - but to offer them support when they reach their own decision.

Why work with Smoke Quitters?
Our track record is second to none: a 95% cessation rate after just 4 weeks, with 75% remaining smoke-free 5 years after the program has ended. When you consider that average cessation is just 20% after 12 months, you can see we have something different to offer your corporate family.
There are two ways we can help you:
By far the easiest is to offer support to all employees through their benefits package. They simply join our online program, and we take them through the full process to become smoke-free in 28 days. We can offer you this as a flat rate per participant, or through a monthly premium to cover all take-ups.
Alternatively, we can work with your team on site. Subject to availability, we’ll conduct live group sessions that tie smoke cessation to the culture and values of your organisation.
Further details are coming soon. In the meantime, please get in touch to discuss your options further.
We look forward to working with you, and creating a smoke-free culture in your workplace.
